Clubs

MCTennis includes an integrated club system powered internally by ShyGuild. Clubs allow players to form teams, manage rosters, and join MCTennis games together. No extra plugin installation is required — MCTennis already ships with ShyGuild built in.

Premium Feature

The club system is exclusive to Patreon supporters who have funded this advanced feature. Support development to access these tools! ❤️

LuckPerms Required

Clubs use automatic per-club permission management. LuckPerms must be installed for role permissions to be applied automatically when a player creates or joins a club.

🎯 Overview

A club is a named group of players with a structured role hierarchy. The built-in mctennis_club template provides four roles out of the box:

Role	Description
`owner`	Full control — can manage roles, kick members, invite players, and delete the club
`coach`	Can manage captains and players, invite and remove members, but cannot delete the club or promote owners
`captain`	Can invite new players and view the roster
`player`	Default role — can view the roster and leave the club

When a club is created, the creator is automatically assigned the owner role and all role permissions are applied via LuckPerms.

🚀 Quick Start (Player Self-Service)

This scenario covers servers where players manage their own clubs.

Required Permissions for Players

# Grant these to all players (e.g. via your default group)
- mctennis.shyguild.command
- mctennis.shyguild.cmd.create
- mctennis.shyguild.cmd.delete
- mctennis.shyguild.cmd.guild.list
- mctennis.shyguild.cmd.role.add
- mctennis.shyguild.cmd.role.remove
- mctennis.shyguild.cmd.role.list
- mctennis.shyguild.cmd.member.invite
- mctennis.shyguild.cmd.member.accept
- mctennis.shyguild.cmd.member.leave
- mctennis.shyguild.cmd.member.remove
- mctennis.shyguild.cmd.member.list
- mctennis.shyguild.template.mctennis_club

Step 1: Create a Club

Any player with the required permissions can create their own club:

/mctennisclub create mctennis_club <name> <displayName>

Parameter	Description
`<name>`	Internal club identifier — alphanumeric and hyphens only (e.g. `red-falcons`)
`<displayName>`	Display name shown in chat — use underscores for spaces (e.g. `Red_Falcons`)

Example:

/mctennisclub create mctennis_club red-falcons Red_Falcons

The player who runs this command automatically becomes the club owner and all owner role permissions are applied via LuckPerms.

Step 2: Invite Members

As an owner or captain, invite other online players to your club:

/mctennisclub member invite <clubName> <player>

Example:

/mctennisclub member invite red-falcons Steve
/mctennisclub member invite red-falcons Alex

Step 3: Accept an Invite

Invited players must accept before they are added to the club:

/mctennisclub member accept <clubName>

Example:

/mctennisclub member accept red-falcons

Accepted players are assigned the player role (the default role).

Step 4: Assign Roles

Owners and coaches can promote members to higher roles:

/mctennisclub role add <clubName> <role> [player]

Example:

# Promote Steve to captain
/mctennisclub role add red-falcons captain Steve

# Promote Alex to coach
/mctennisclub role add red-falcons coach Alex

Step 5: View Club Roster

List all current members and their roles:

/mctennisclub member list <clubName>

Step 6: Leave or Delete a Club

Leave a club:

/mctennisclub member leave <clubName>

Owner Restriction

You cannot leave a club if you are the only owner. Promote another member to owner first with /mctennisclub role add <clubName> owner <player>.

Delete a club (owner only):

/mctennisclub delete <clubName>

🛡️ Admin-Managed Clubs

This scenario covers servers where staff or the server owner creates clubs and distributes ownership to specific players afterwards.

Required Permissions for Admins

# Staff group — in addition to all player permissions above
- mctennis.shyguild.cmd.member.add
- mctennis.shyguild.cmd.template.list
- mctennis.shyguild.cmd.reload

Step 1: Check Available Templates

First, verify that the mctennis_club template is loaded:

/mctennisclub template list

You should see mctennis_club in the output. If not, ensure mctennis_club.yml exists in the clubs/ folder and run /mctennisclub reload.

Step 2: Create the Club as Admin

An admin creates the club from the console or in-game:

/mctennisclub create mctennis_club red-falcons Red_Falcons

Console vs In-Game

When created from the console, no owner is automatically assigned. When created in-game by a player, that player becomes the owner. For the admin-managed workflow, create the club in-game as a staff player, or assign the owner role manually in the next step.

Step 3: Add Members Directly

Admins can bypass the invite system and add players directly:

/mctennisclub member add <clubName> <player>

Example:

/mctennisclub member add red-falcons Steve
/mctennisclub member add red-falcons Alex
/mctennisclub member add red-falcons Notch

All added players receive the player (default) role.

Step 4: Assign the Owner Role

Grant a player ownership of the club so they can manage it going forward:

/mctennisclub role add <clubName> owner <player>

Example:

/mctennisclub role add red-falcons owner Steve

Steve now has all owner permissions for the red-falcons club (delete, role management, invite, kick) applied automatically via LuckPerms.

Step 5: Optionally Assign Other Roles

Assign coach and captain roles to other members:

/mctennisclub role add red-falcons coach Alex
/mctennisclub role add red-falcons captain Notch

Full Admin Workflow Example

# 1. Verify templates
/mctennisclub template list

# 2. Create the club
/mctennisclub create mctennis_club red-falcons Red_Falcons

# 3. Add all members
/mctennisclub member add red-falcons Steve
/mctennisclub member add red-falcons Alex
/mctennisclub member add red-falcons Notch

# 4. Assign owner
/mctennisclub role add red-falcons owner Steve

# 5. Assign other roles
/mctennisclub role add red-falcons coach Alex
/mctennisclub role add red-falcons captain Notch

# 6. Verify
/mctennisclub member list red-falcons

📋 Club Template Reference (`mctennis_club.yml`)

The mctennis_club template ships with MCTennis and defines the role hierarchy and permissions for every club created from it.

Two Permissions Per Action

Most actions require two permissions: a command-level permission (e.g. mctennis.shyguild.cmd.delete) and a club-specific permission (e.g. mctennis.shyguild.guild.<club>.delete). The club-specific permissions are handled automatically by LuckPerms via the role template — you do not need to assign them manually.

🔍 Troubleshooting

Problem	Likely Cause	Solution
"No permission" on `/mctennisclub`	Missing base permission	Add `mctennis.shyguild.command`
Can't create a club	Missing create or template permission	Add `mctennis.shyguild.cmd.create` and `mctennis.shyguild.template.mctennis_club`
Role permissions not applied	LuckPerms not installed	Install LuckPerms
Template not found	`mctennis_club.yml` missing	Ensure the file exists in the `clubs/` folder and run `/mctennisclub reload`
Owner can't delete club	Missing guild-level permission	Ensure LuckPerms applied `mctennis.shyguild.guild.<club>.delete` — try `/mctennisclub reload`
Can't leave as owner	Only owner in club	Assign `owner` role to another member first, then leave
Can't join a club arena	Missing `mctennis.club.join.<arena>`	Add the permission to the appropriate roles in `mctennis_club.yml` and reload
Can't start a club game	Missing `mctennis.club.start.<arena>`	Add the permission to `owner`, `coach`, and `captain` roles in `mctennis_club.yml` and reload
Non-club players can enter club arenas	`mctennis.join.<arena>` granted to default group	Remove `mctennis.join.<arena>` from the default group; club access should come from the template only
